Bayside panel approves two fence projects and a home replacement

The Village of Bayside Architectural Review Committee unanimously approved three residential projects at its Nov. 18 meeting: a revised privacy fence at 1055 West Duchess Court, a dog‑ear picket fence at 9220 North Sleepy Hollow Road, and demolition and replacement of the house at 1144 East Brown Deer Road.

At 1055 West Duchess Court homeowner Ron Brahm, joined by neighbor Louis Wahl, revised an initial proposal for a solid privacy fence that did not meet Municipal Code to a 30‑lineal‑foot cedar fence, six feet high and 50% open, installed horizontally. Trustee Ben Minkin moved to approve the revised design subject to compliance with code; the motion carried unanimously.

At 9220 North Sleepy Hollow Road, homeowners Brent Mackman and Cydny Katz presented a proposal for 229 lineal feet of four‑foot‑high white cedar dog‑ear picket fencing along the property’s northeastern side. Committee Member Kavin Tedamrongwanish moved to approve the project as presented; the motion carried unanimously.

The committee also approved a demolition and rebuild at 1144 East Brown Deer Road. Homeowner Patrick Gaynor and construction manager Jim Marriot described plans to remove the existing home and construct a new single‑family residence with a temporary 30‑yard dumpster on site. Marriot said the design follows a contemporary shingle aesthetic and will use LP siding; Gaynor confirmed the new house will retain the current driveway and garage orientation toward Tennyson Drive and keep the front door facing Brown Deer Road. Trustee Ben Minkin moved to approve the project as presented; the motion carried unanimously.

All three motions were moved and seconded as recorded in the meeting minutes and carried without objection. No appeals or formal conditions beyond standard code compliance were recorded for these items.

The committee proceeded to other agenda items after approving the three projects.
